Obedience

Today's message doesn't come from Scripture but from Dr. Tony Evans who shares with us a profound thought. Often I hear people say I don't ever hear from God, or I don't feel His presence in my life. The truth is for us to "feel" His presence and hear His voice we must first surrender our lives, and will to Him and seek to obey His Word in our lives. All too often people see God as intangible, unreachable, and inactive but the truth is. As Priscilla Shirer states, " Jesus loved you enough to die for you, do you think He doesn't love you enough to talk to you?" Dear Ones, to feel the presence of God in our lives, starts with us. Starts with surrender to God, then we must obey. Jesus' words state. "If you love Me, you will keep My commands."

John 14:15 HCSB

Obedience is an essential part of us hearing the voice of God and feeling his guidance and presence. And we can only know that we are living according to His Will and Way by reading His Word daily, digesting it into our lives and heart, and living it all for His Glory. 

Let us all seek to obey His Word today and love others as Christ has loved us!


Thank you for journeying with me.

A truly serious, and sobering matter occurred. I was not sure how to share with all of you this matter- and how desperate I was. I was not sure how to even lift my eyes towards heaven for fear that he would not hear me, or not even want what I was wanting.  I was not sure I could handle a loss of my child. My baby- my eldest- He is 18 years old, 6 days ago he started to develop these sharp pains that would shoot to the back of his eyes. At first he described them as a headache, but he realized it was not headache, and started to complain more of the pain, and stated that pain relievers were not working. I made a doctors appointment. When the do...

Traditions…

At this time of the year everyone is filled with traditions. Things they do every year  to prepare their hearts to celebrate the greatest, and truest meaning of this season- celebrating the Birth of our Savior. We are no exception.. we started this tradition last year. Our hearts were to focus ourselves completely on what we are celebrating and why we are celebrating it so every evening, we light these candles…   gather around the table to read the scripture for the night, we sing the corresponding carol/hymn, then daddy reads a story. The story normally goes with which every figure we must pull and set up for our nativity scene. So far this is what we have out: The Donkey was first- because he carried Mary to Bethlehem, then the cow- was probably in the stable, the sheep were probably brought by the Shepherds who came to see the Savior, and then the Shepherd. This scene is such a humbling scene, one that reminds us that our Lord did not arrive in a mansion, or place b...
